They look gorgeous, I much prefer these with small heads as well as the miniature varieties. Still, anything is welcome at the moment . Snow all gone but more forecast for Wednesday. Roll on Spring.

I fear that it is bad for me to read your Sunday morning posts because I am always consumed with desire to go out and purchase whatever flower is featured.

Alas, no Columbia Road market nearby for me.

Sounds like you’re having a thaw! I peered closely at the daffs at my local Trader Joe’s this week wondering if they could…be…. from the Scilly Isles. But no. They are “local”. Amazingly, (I don’t know why, maybe cause I’m living in a “desert”? – L.A.) the narcissi are sprouting up on the sides of the road alongside bearded iris. (And it really is “exhalations” that come from narcissi, aren’t they?) Anyway, wherever we are, it’s good to know that spring is on the way. Still though! At 3 bunches for two pounds I’d buy them even if I had bunches shooting up in the yard!

…….thankyou for your brilliant posts which i’ve recently discovered,today’s flowers are beautiful,i really love the way that with narcissus the greens and yellows fuse so fantastically that it’s very difficult to get right in paint (for me,at least).
I hope all is well,please keep posting and we’ll keep enjoying,although i can’t really envisage me being around to savour the 10,000th.
Thanks again…….
